while I understand the humor here, if you fall thru the ice, you have at best 3-4 minutes (depending on what your wearing) to get out of water that is below 54*. hypothermia sets in very quickly which numbs all your muscles, including your brain. experienced it, not something I like recalling. As I lay on the shore VIOLENTLY shaking I thought "this is it". I have never fished alone in cold water since.

That's a good lesson learned. Glad you made it out. Lots of folks don't.

Keep the headlights on so the eyes reflect as you gather your data?😉
No disrespect intended. My Boss fell through about 25 years ago and hasn’t been on the ice since. It was a foggy day and he was lucky someone heard him yelling and was able to find him.
